Day Three "And We Think We Are Getting Old!"

Imagine health care and retirement issues up to 900 years old! The number of birthday candles are staggering in the reading today. Notice in Genesis 5:21-24 that Enoch "walked with God" and never died. He is one of two people (the other Elijah) that never died. The contruction of Noah's Ark is no small feat. Imagine an ark of gopher wood (no one knows exactly what that is) that spans larger than a football field and taller than the Ninth Avenue Santuary. Possible Noah's Ark discovery stories are in the news. Photos are not necessary to be drawn into the story but there are some interesting photos of recent search expeditions at www.noahsarksearch.com . In facing opposition, God is with us...Psalm 3 provides comfort for those in adversarial circumstances. King Herod was threatened by the prospect of a new king upon hearing of the birth of Jesus. The Magi opted...through a dream...not to report back to Herod. The topic of church and state will be in messages at all of our services this weekend.
